When I first saw your skis I shuddered because of the extra weight those "stickers" would add -- then I realized that was the top sheet.

I've had my F1s for 3 years and I can't get away from them. The Spirit 3s don't quite fit me because I have a really really flat foot. When burly is a requirement, I'm going with some Dynafit boots I think.

I skiied some 2 ft blower tonight on my F1s and 160 cm 67 waisted skis. It adds a whole other dimension of "fun."
